A.S.U. Discards The Oxford Oath
"We oppose economic boycott of any kind and the unfavorable attitude of the American Student Union concerning the Oxford pledge." So resolved 200-odd representatives from more than a dozen Kansas colleges two weeks ago at Wichita.
The American Student Union with some 600 delegates met on the Vassar campus following Christmas to endorse by a 2-1 majority the popular boycott of Japanese goods, and to abandon their long-standing approval of the Oxford pledge.
There is a connection between these simultaneous actions of the A.S.U.; and the Kansas Collegiate Peace Institute is to be approved for recognizing this connection and condemning the Union's stand.
The A.S.U. seems to realize that in boycotting Japan this act may be the first step in mobilizing public opinion to avenge Chinese women and children, and making the Orient safe for Chinese "Democracy." The A.S.U. recognizes the Japanese boycott may conflict with the absolute pacifist stand, and firmly declares for a step which may lead to war.
Thus the Wichita conference is definitely opposed to the recent action of the A.S.U. and to war as a means to a dubious end—an opposition which has become an end in itself—while the Union stands for the achievement of an abstract standard of justice in the Orient by a means which in the past has led to war. If war should come, where is their justice?
The Union apparently forgets that the means determine the nature of the end.
The student hospital has been handling an average of 195 calls a day. Understaffed, it has been suggested that the addition of two more doctors might be of great benefit. However, this with certain other added services would cost at least $7,500 it has been said.
Will Nations Show True Sportmanship?
The are 1940 Olympic games to be held in Tokyo a stumbling block to world peace?
Because of Japan's war in China, there is talk of the games out of Tokyo and into a more tranquil scene. "But the Olympics either will be held in Japan at the appointed time or they won't be held at all," is the statement made by Mr. I. Sawada, representative of the Japanese A.A.U. in this country.
Mr. Sawada is right in his statement. Once the Olympics are awarded to a country, they stay awarded unless that country is unprepared and fails to provide the necessary facilities for conducting the games. But this is not the case with Japan. She has everything ready, including the stadium.
Since the games have been awarded to Japan, are we of the other countries going to show a lack of true sportsmanship by failing to co-operate with Japan in making the games a success?
Two years hence when the games are to be held, we hope that the war is over and peaceful relations are established between Japan and China. By rousing an antagonistic attitude toward Japan concerning the games, we also arouse the resentment of the Japanese people towards us and lessen the chance for peace.
The Japanese people are just like the rest of us, They, too, like to play. It has been estimated by some authorities that the military clique in Japan has led 90 to 95 per cent of the Japanese people to fight a war they don't want. This appears to us no sound reason for boycoting the games or for refusing to attend.
Co-operation and true sportsmanship on the part of other nations toward Japan will reap a rich reward in good feeling and peaceful relations in the future.
Bring on the Soap Boxes The Women Are Coming
Times have changed since the days when women-suffrage advocates were looked upon as freaks—queer types of non-sexual female impersonators. Since 1919, women ha ve enjoyed the right to national vote, and they were privileged in some states before that. Gradually they have proved their ability to succeed in professions that traditionally belonged to men. And they are, on the whole, well satisfied with this place in society.
Now along comes the National Women's Party demanding an equal-rights-between-men- and women amendment to the constitution. Does this mean equal rights in support of the family? equal care of children? How can there be equality in all matters when the tasks of men and women are obviously predetermined if not psychologically, at least, biologically and physically? Equality of the sort we have now, leaves man essentially the wage earner and woman essentially the home-maker in an environment of co-operation; white co-education
has brought about a greater amount of mutual knowledge, ability, and interests.
An equal rights amendment would necessitate drastic changes in state laws regarding property, wages and divorces; and result in confusion between various states. If the amendment defined more exactly the meaning of "equal rights" it might have more chance of success.

Calls for the Sandman
Approximately one-fourth of the students in the University use Fourteenth Street as a means of going home because it is the most convenient place to come down because from physics we learn that all that goes up must come down) said street is a very quiet place.
Since our forebears decided that we must have the state University on a bank, then and the future we can afford to do so. We are going to have a bank. Goodness knew it is bad enough to have to walk such a hill, without having to strain every nerve and muscle. If we can't get the bank, we will lose it.
It is a well known fact that sand increases friction and that it is an almost total absence of friction which makes one's upper extremities assume the position normally mounted on a wall, and can be brought here in Lawrence for only a few cents per hundred pounds. Since this the case it seems to me that the University might well afford to sprinkle a little sand on the walls, benefit the students physically, a d and even mentally.

Socialized Collegiate Press Distributor of Collegiate Digest
The next time you hear of someone in the old home town trying to discourage an innocent high school senior from attending the state university because it's a "country club school," or because it "takes a thousand dollars you attend, and anybody who works doesn't have a chance to make the grade socially." you might confound him with a few of the following facts and figures, taken from the files of the Men Students' Employment Bureau conducted in the basement of Frank Strong hall by the Alumni Association.
More than 46 per cent of the entire student body of the University of Kansas is either partially or entirely self-supporting. Almost half of these students study at home and do most of them through outside work done during the school year.
Forty-six Per Cent of K.U. Students Help Pay Own Expenses
More Men Working Than Women
**C Men Working Than Women**
Although a much larger percentage of men than women work, more than 29 per cent of the co-eds also support themselves while in Lawrence.
BUSINESS MANAGER F. QUENTIN BROWN
Nor do they find themselves hampered materially by this outside work. There is no social ostracization. If there were, there would be very little "society" left, for the average Hill leader in Campus activities is at least partially self-supporting.

Probably the single institution most responsible for the large number of men students who are able to "work their way through college" here is the Alumni Association's employment bureau, under the direction of Mrs. Frank Parker. At present there are an even 700 enrolled in the service. Of these 135 have steady jobs, averaging something more than 30 cents an hour, and 60 others have part-time jobs which pay about the same hourly wage.
Jobs range from leading local church choirs, to serving as bouncers at more boisterous social functions. There are student stenographers, cooks, artists' models, sheep-raisers, dandelion-diggers, and even getters-of-cats-out-of-trees, all furnished by the employment bureau.
Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
Although the men's employment bureau was started as a project of the Y.M.C.A., the Alumni Association took it over in 1932 at the depth of the depression. Since that time, enrollment has risen from 395 to last
Penfold Offers Prizes For Best Photographs
Jack Penfold, '36, of Washington, D.C., has offered $25 in prizes for the best photographs taken by journalism majors at the University. Penfold is a member of the staff of Newsweek and the leading photographers for various publications.
Varied Jobs
Mr. and Mrs. Penfold stopped in Lawrence recently on their way to Mexico City for a free-lance photographic expedition.
Kruger Rated High by Sengares
Franz Schäkel's high regard for Kruger's ability to respond in concert when the young man left the Viennese Opera to take over the conductorship of the Seuletia Symphony Orchestra in 1926.
Philharmonic-year's grand total of 734. This year students from 19 different states range from New Jersey and Vermont to Florida and Arizona, are enabled to attend the University with its assistance.
"I have no doubt that he will play an important role among the leading orchestral conductors of his time."
Vienna, saturated with musical tradition and with echoes of Hayden, Mazart, Schubert, Beethoven, and Wagner lingering about it, has produced more eminent conductors than any other city in the world. And it was in this music center on the Danube that Karl Krueger received the larger part of his musical training.
earnings also have steadily increased in the past six years. The total amount for the current year of 1937-38 is $10,723.77 so far. This is already a 12 per cent increase over last year's total of $9,254.42. Most of the jobs are secured with Lawrence business firms and townpeople, although Hill organizations supply about one-sixth of the employment.
Hospital Services-vice since Doctor Canutten has been in charge are the tuberculin, Wassermann, and urine tests. For positive turberculin reactions. X-rays are provided at cost. This department formerly required one operator two hours a day, but now requires three hours of attendance. Other services include small pos and typhoid vaccination and cold inoculation.

"We are trying to make the health service an educational program in preventive measures." Doctor C. Johnson substitutes for the "family doctor."
he returned to Vienna last May to appear as guest conductor with the orchestra with which he had been associated as a young man, Mr. Krueger had an unexpected experience. It happened that he followed immediately after Arturo Toscanini, acknowledged as the world's greatest conductor. The critics with one accord placed him immediately after Toscanini. "To Conduct the Philharmonic immediately after Arturo Toscanini, and right after his concert to make an impression, even, yes, to win laurels, that is something!" said Ernest Decsey in the Neues Wiener Tagblatt. The Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra gave a concert before an enthusiastic audience of 1,600 in the
Students are mostly treated for cold, respiratory ailments, stomach upsets, injuries, sprains, skin dislays, infections, burns, boils, and abrasions.
"We are trying to show students," Doctor Caplanon pointed out, "the kind of medical attention to expect—without the frills."

gineers who elected her queen.
Candidates were chosen by a "prIMARY" balloting in the School of Engineering and Architecture of Iowa, which composed six competed in the final voting.
There was very little if any renewal of traditional battling between the engineers and their proverbial enemies, the "Shysters". Engineers advertised the dance by drawing toy cars by strings but the Laws let them drive by without arresting them.
The secrecy surrounding the identity of the queen has grown out of the foul between laws and engineers. In past years it was not uncommon for law students to kidnap the engineers' queen so she could not be presented at the dance. For that reason the winning candidate is not revealed until the congratulations at intermission of the dance.
Sponsor Carnival To Raise Scholarship Fund
"Fun for a nickel" seems to be the theme of the W.S.G.A. carnival which will take place in Robinson gymnasium Friday night, Feb. 25. The carnival is sponsored by the women's organization to raise money for a scholarship fund for women students of the University.
Sororites and other organized groups will have booths featuring entertainment ranging from an old-fashioned saloon to a baby show.
Five cents will be charged for admission to the carnival and to booth entertainment. A committee of judges is to be announced later by Roberta Mitchell, fa'39, general chairman. A donation for the most clever booth is to be offered. A committee of judges is to be announced later by Roberta Mitchell, fa'39, genera
